I flew home from Norway on May 5, 2010. I was actually supposed to come home on July 5th, but I ended up being accepted to a special medical school program. I had to begin college in the first week of JUNE! This was a bit stressful because I was looking forward to having a nice long summer to relax and see my friends and family.

The school program I am in right now allows me to finish undergraduate and medical school in 6 years. The normal amount of time is 8 years. I have been going to school for the past two months and absolutely love it. I was scared the first day to meet everyone, but I made some really good friends here. I love everyone in the program! Classes are a bit hard, but that's probably because I am not used to actually doing homework. As most of you already know, I did not have to do that much homework in norway haha. And now I have lab reports to do every day and tests to study for every night! It's a lot of work, but I feel so far it has been worth it.

Today is my birthday, and there is snow outside!! I can't even think about it hahaha. It is the first time I have seen snow in May! But it's a little special to celebrate my birthday with snow, I will never forget it!! My family is coming here around 2 o'clock and we are eating lunch together and cozying ourselves! (I know that sounds funny in english ;)) This morning my mom, dad, hanna and ingvild came in my room and sang happy birthday to me! It was so cozy! They also had brownies with a candle and gifts! =] It was a very good start for the day!! :)) Pictures later!
